+ <synopsis>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Gaim which could allow a remote
+ attacker to crash the application, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

+ Gaim is a full featured instant messaging client which handls a variety of
+ instant messaging protocols.

+ A possible buffer overflow exists in the code processing MSN SLP messages
+ (CAN-2004-0891). memcpy() was used without validating the size of the
+ buffer, and an incorrect buffer was used as destination under certain
+ circumstances. Additionally, memory allocation problems were found in the
+ processing of MSN SLP messages and the receiving of files. These issues
+ could lead Gaim to try to allocate more memory than available, resulting in
+ the crash of the application.

+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could crash Gaim and possibly execute arbitrary code by
+ exploiting the buffer overflow.

+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Gaim users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=net-im/gaim-1.0.2"
+ # emerge "&gt;=net-im/gaim-1.0.2"</code>
